Introduction: The purpose of this study was to describe the occupational outcome of bipolar patients 3 years after being hospitalized in a psychiatry department, and the determinants of this outcome.
Methods: One hundred and one bipolar patients consecutively hospitalized between 1st January 2002 and 31st December 2003, were recruited. Their occupations and medical items were assessed at baseline from the medical records and reassessed 3 years later, using a questionnaire on their work and treatment, and a quality of life scale.
Background: Occupational asthma (OA) is a frequent work-related disease in industrialised countries. It often leads to severe social and medical consequences.
Two Types Of Oa: A distinction must be made between OA with a latency period, the origin of which is essentially allergic, and OA without a latency period or Reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS), induced by acute inhalation of irritant substances.
